actually … i think there was an update to handle the problem in general. i have 4 or 5 msn spaces blogs that were all top 3 material for my phrases by simply tossing up bullshit, then slamming it with co-op wieght. for 2 months i enjoyed the rankings, this past week i notice a complete pull of all the msn sites … and some cash advance & loan pages hosted by foriegn news sites.

Weird. I had a spam expedia blog and didn’t receive that email…. Maybe because mine was obviously spam they just deleted me and didn’t bother to let me know.

Now this is too weird. Let’s say there’s a naked man running in the street (an expedia blog ranking number 1 for buy viagra) and then let’s say someone walking by the street points the finger at the guy and says “hey, have you seen that guy running naked in the street?” (Quadzilla posting about an expedia blog ranking number 1 for buy viagra)

Now…do you think the naked man attracted the attention to himself or do you think that everyone realized about it because someone pointed the finger and made a comment about it?

If it’s the latter (and it could very well be, since I’m sure this blog is in Mr Cutts personal rss reader because being 2.0 is soooo cool) then it is really pathetic.

Rather than monitoring what is one of the most spammed keywords of the internet, the powers that be rely on Quadzilla to give away spammers by outing techniques. Pretty pathetic on G and on Expedia.

You can blame this guy, but I remember few weeks ago Greg boser and Oilman mentioning Expedia spam in SEO Rockstars (thats when I ran to make a few, and they been working great till now)

Sacre bleu!
